New route

Wednesday was another day of waking up late and running in the evening. This is definitely a pattern I need to break. It throws off my whole evening, and makes it extra hard to wake up the following morning and go to the gym.

For the run, I took a route I almost never take. I decided to head west. The West Side Highway is much better lit than the E. River, so I worked my way through the streets from park ave and 21st to the West Side Highway at 14th street. I headed south on the Hudson River Park until I got down to Tribeca, and headed back on the same route. It was a hard run. 45 minutes at a moderate pace. probably about 6 miles (I can't be too sure, as google maps is broken). Ab workout when I got home. That is becoming a habit and I like it.

Hard part was I didn't eat dinner. Between a fairly intense 6 mile run, and waking up early to hit they gym, I am feeling a bit lightheaded as I type this. I need some fruit and coffee.
